Sick of it all

I know I’m being a CF but I need to get this off my chest!

My partner has mental health problems and is never a bunch of roses on a good day but has been even worse over the last few weeks. Maybe it’s been going on for months? I just can’t put energy into keeping track anymore.

We are supposed to be going on a holiday of a lifetime in 4 weeks. This has been a huge expense for us and we will never be able to do it again.

He doesn’t like me talking about the holiday so all the pre enjoyment is being sucked out of it for me.

He has now gone off in a huff because I haven reacted positively enough to the latest expense hobby he wants to take up. And by take up I mean buy a whole load of expensive equipment and never use it. I reacted neutral but the way he is behaving you would have thought I listed all the other expensive crap he has bough over the years and never used.

I’m so deflated. This is never going to end. This is who he is and it’s how my life is going to be if he’s in it.

I’m just so sad. I can’t believe my life has ended up like this. I didn’t even know human beings like this existed so how could I have looked out for the warning signs?

I don’t know if it would be worse to go on holiday with him behaving like this or just end things and going on my own.

Not that he has anywhere else to go if I did end it.
